Supreme Court (SC) has declared appointment of judges in Islamabad High Court (IHC) as maintainable under article 184-3 of the constitution.
A 4-member bench of SC took up the case for hearing on the request of Salim Ahmad advocate Tuesday.
SC directed Attorney General (AG) to seek instructions from the government, as the petition is maintainable under the article 184-3 of the constitution.
During the course of hearing Justice Asif Saeed Khosa asked the AG to obtain these instructions also if you have to enter into fight or have to talk patiently.
AG replied, “ I want to talk comfortably while mike is installed at the height. Justice Asif Saeed Khosa remarked “your attitude is aggressive. Talk loudly but affectionately.”
AG said, “ I talk in affectionate manner. My voice is so loud that I can not even whisper”.
Justice Khilji Arif directed AG if he has to provide some files then he should provide them till today.
AG said president was head of the state. Complying with constitution is his domain. I have to seek instructions. The arguments will be brief, he added.
Justice Khilji Arif said “Keep yourself to issues. If you want to seek instructions then get them.”

  1. I wonder why is the government confronting the judiciary everytime? Haven't they learnt any lesson from Musharraf? There should be someone to advise them.
